Halloween 2007

The kids & I went to a costume party hosted by my friends Hara & Angela the Saturday before Halloween. On Halloween day the festivities began for the kids at school where their teachers put them in their costumes and they celebrated all day long. They even had a costume parade through the infant room. Olivia loved that! She adores those babies (especially her Tavian of course). When I came to pick them up one of the teachers said that it was official- Olivia was the cutest little ballerina ever! Well I would have to agree with that! At home we got ready again and headed over to Grandpa and Grandma Sam's house so they could enjoy the kids in their costumes. They always go all out with decorations so it's quite festive. Grandma scared Olivia a bit with her mask but after a quick explanation about the mask she was ready to get to it. Tavian fell asleep on the car ride over but we woke him up just in time for trick or treating. Grandma, Daddy, and I joined them as they (well, Olivia) made her way through their neighborhood. There are only a few houses so it's perfect. We did this last year as well and it seems to be becoming a fun tradition for all of us!

Gotta love the look on Olivia's face

Yummmm... sugar!

Tavian with Grandpa His antenna kept flopping in his face all night long!

After being thoroughly spoiled with treats from their grandparents we headed back to our place where we handed out candy to more trick or treaters. I think Olivia enjoyed this more than anything. She got such a kick out of putting the candy in their bags. Each time the door bell rang she would run to the door yelling "THE KIDS ARE HERE! THE KIDS ARE HERE!" We ran out of candy just in time to turn out our lights and head to bed. A very enjoyable Halloween indeed!
